eating your way through your fridge (project spectrum)

Warning: skip to the next page for actual knitting content.

Honestly, I’m trying to lose weight. But through exercise, not through dieting. Although, today I’m skipping my walk in favor of cleaning the bathroom and other similar activities.

Also, this is the time of year where one tries to eat the contents of their refrigerator. I don’t mean all in one go. I’m not Joey! Crud. Just listen to me. This is the time of year… What’s really going on is that this is the time of year where my husband I move. Even though we managed to stop in Colorado for four whole years, we still had three residences. No one wants to pack that can of beans you’ve been carrying around for the last four years. Or the prepackaged soup mix you were given for Christmas in 2001. It’s still good. You’d think we’d have picked up better shopping habits by now. But it’s no good. We enable each other through the Asian foods section. Ah well.

Wonder when I’m going to make the Beignets. My husband brought back a mix from New Orleans a few years ago from THE Beignet place. Someone remind me the name of it and I’ll post a picture. It’s the one on the corner in the French Quarter and I believe it’s still there.

Anyway, I’m getting plenty of exercise cleaning and moving stuff around to take Project Spectrum Photos. There are pink, yellow and green books. And then there are green books.

 

 

 

On Saturday, I went to Yarnover, sponsored by the Minnesota Knitter’s Guild. I ran into the Knitty Mama with the Knitty Baby. He’s getting big. Pretty soon she’ll have to re-nickname the kids. While there, I scored big with this Cherry Tree Hill Suri Alpaca Laceweight. It was 50% off. I mean it was $13.50!

I will not be going to the Shepherd’s Harvest Sheep Festival. Instead, I’m going to my father’s retirement party. He’s been a staff member at MIT for 32 years. I don’t think he reads my blog, but it’s supposed to be a surprise! I’m going to fly into New York a couple of days in advance and then get a ride to Boston with my sister. Anyone want to meet up in New York or Boston and do a little yarn crawl? I would love a tour, although I suspect I have very few hours available in Boston. Hint hint.

Speaking of yarn events, is anyone going to go to the Lime and Violet slumber party June 12-15? I think I could persuade my husband to let me go if I could go share gas money and hotel money. It’s during the week though.

Also purchased at Yarnover was some of this Vera Lorna’s Laces. It was skeined a little differently than I’m used to seeing it.

 

 

 

 

At Yarnover, I worked some more on my sweater. It’s mostly finished…just not the cuffs. Like I mentioned yesterday, they’ve been giving me trouble. I may need more yarn and I can’t do that until Sunday. Unless I decide to visit Pam tomorrow at Knitter’s Palette.

 

 

Some Yarn Pr0n arrived in the mail today from Sundara Yarn. Yep, it’s my Cherry Blossom! More sweet goodies are sure to be coming my way this week though from Canada! Also, I still need to show you tell you a little bit about what I got for Hurricane Sock Party and what else I got from ScoutJ and my nearly done rapid river socks, which I’ll finish sometime this week. Maybe even tonight. I’m really tired though, so I think I’m going to nap before going off and mopping the dining room.
